snaps from the runway last night - CHRISTINE FERNANDO FRISONI GINGER AND SMART LUCETTE MANNING CARTELL MEGAN PARK NICOLA FINETTI THURLEY

the show opened with an inspiring short film... which preceded a show that did not quite live up to the hype of its introduction... flop or not:

but there were plenty of racy models...

CHRISTINE - very russian inspired

this looked gorgeous on the runway - reasoning well why you come to the shows

I discovered Megan Park at this very festival 2 years ago. I went home and opened Vogue and there she was! This Australian designer is fast becoming one of my favorites (http://www.meganpark.co.uk/boutique.php)

if you are familiar with any of my work - you can see why I love Megan Park so much. Her attention to detail gives me titillate! (didn't think that word was in my vocabulary)

shimmie pants! this were outrageous! love

... though not quite sure what was hanging off her jacket...

go the red heads ;)

Nicola Finetti showcased ready-to-wear collection without the oomph! fail.

Ginger & Smart cleverly paired their chic designs with a Parisienne feel - cigarettes and all!

Manning Cartell had a fun Oriental theme. The conical Asian hats looked sharp and elegant pulled low over the models faces, only revealing bold lips

Front Row. I dare say was more inspirational than the fashion on the catwalk

I love the bodice on this gorgeous lace Thurley dress

the models after the show were hilarious:

Design | Content | Photography

Starting this journey into photography feels like catching up with an old friend – my trusty Canon camera, a gift from my filmmaker dad over a decade ago. While life kept me busy raising my wonderful daughters, Sahana and Dylana, I put photography on hold for bedtime stories. But now, as I dive into learning about product photography, my creativity sparks. Behind the lens, I'm not just snapping pictures; I'm capturing memories and stories, a talent I believe runs in the family. The classroom has become a safe space filled with inspiration, where my classmates and I cheer each other on. Here, my knack for styling fits right in, blending with the skills of others. And our teachers, full of wisdom and encouragement, make every click of the camera feel like a chance for something great.

High Key Portraits

In the studio, Sienna's character shone through effortlessly, bringing life to each frame with her genuine smiles and infectious energy. The high-key setup accentuated the play of light on her curls and highlighted the sparkle in her eyes, resulting in a collection of portraits that capture not just her appearance but the essence of who she is – vibrant, captivating, and utterly unique

Veiled

VEILED - exploring the significance throughout time and culture. Veils first appeared in ancient cultures as a form of protection from evil spirits. Its symbolism has changed over time, from status in society, to sign of innocence and propriety. While some view the veil as a way to divide god and men, biblically the veil is seen as access, unity and intimacy with the Divine. Besides its enduring religious significance, veiling continues to play a role in almost all cultures on the planet to this day. I've worn veils throughout my life, all 3 of my weddings, religious ceremonies an aplenty of times for fun. Like this shoot with my girls (and self portraits on timer). And the significance of the rose.... that's for another time
